Dead battery
I have replaced the old battery with a new fully charged battery, and when I drive for 100 miles the bike is complety dead. I have to shut the lights off and keep the rev's up or Im dead on the side of the road. At first I thought that I wasn't driving far enough (15 miles) to let it charge up. But after a night on the charger I went out for a ride to see what would happen, and after 70 miles at 70mph she was going dead. Is my stater shot or is it the charging module?

RE: Dead battery
Not charging. Check the battery voltage with the engine running. Rev it up a bit. You should see 14 volts or more. What bike is it?
Could be the stator or regulator or wiring.

RE: Dead battery
It's an 1982 FLH Classic. I have put a volt gauge across the battery and the is no change when running(12v). Have changed the regulator with a spare, but it might be nfg too. I have tried some trouble shooting with the manual and this forum to narrow it down. Maybe some new tools will help
